BOYLE, KIDNAPER,
QUICKLY CONVICTED
Abductor of Billy Whitla Makes!
No Defense.
_
BOY’S REPLY CAUSES MIRTH
V' . . v
_______
Accused Man Traced by Witnesses j
Prom Sharon, Pa., Lad’s Home, ;
to Cleveland, Ohio — Sentence ;
Was Deferred.
Mercer, Pa.—James Boyle, charged
with kidnaping Billy Whitla at Sha
ron last March, was convicted after a
trial lasting only a few hours. There
was no defense, and the jury was out
but a few minutes.
The State’s showing was overpow
ering. From the night before the ab
duction, when he was seen in Sharon,
till the time of his arrest in Cleve
land, Ohio, almost every movement
the prisoner made was testified to by
one or more witnesses. A man from
whom he hired a horse and buggy,
another who saw Boyle driving with
“Billy” in the buggy, the barber who
saw the two together and shaved
Boyle’s mustache off, train and elec
tric railway conductors who saw the
couple on the way to Cleveland and
identified them in court, all told sto
ries which fitted in perfectly with
that of “Billy” Whitla, and left no
doubt as to the part Boyle had taken
in the case.
As a result, when the State rested,
counsel for the defense held a confer
ence and announced that they would
offer no evidence.
Billy Whitla wa§ the first witness,
and before being sworn caused a rip
ple of laughter when he answered the
question as to where boys go who do
not tell the truth by saying: “They
go to hell.” He told the story of the
man who said his name was Mr.
Jones, calling for him with a buggy
at the school, and telling him he had
been sent to take him away on ac
count of smallpox; that he was to
take others also, and. that Billy vtfould
meet his friends on the train.
The cross-examination of Billy was
very brief, the questioning indicating
that the defense would attempt to
prove an alibi, but Charles Flowers,
of Sharon, testified positively that
he had seen Boyle in Sharon the night
before the abduction and had spoken
to him.
J. P. Whitla, father of the kid
naped boy. told of the abduction and
the three letters he received demand
ing a ransom, of his compliance with
all the conditions imposed, and of the
events leading up to the payment of
the money and the recovery of his
son. On cross-examination Mr. Whit
la denied having had any conversa
tion with Boyle in Cleveland prior to
his arrest.
Mrs. B. A. Hendrickson, with
whom the package containing $10,
000 was left in the Cleveland store,
told of a stranger giving the name of
Hayes leaving the package with her
for Mr. Williams and of Mr. Williams
coming for it. She identified Boyle
as the man who secured the package
from her.
The penalty, which is from one
year to a life sentence in the peniten
tiary, was deferred.
STORAGE EGG ON TRIAL.
■■ ' »- ■—
Bring Test Case to Determine Its
Standing Before the Law.
Los Angeles, Cal.—What is the
standing of a cold storage egg before
the law? This is a question to settle
which a suit is being preferred in
this city. It is to be a test case, and
doubtless will go to the Supreme
Court of the State.
Dealers in produce say the new
Pure Food law requires that cold
storage poultry and eggs must be lab
eled as such before being offered for
sale, but the law does not designate
what a cold storage egg is. Inspect
ors threaten to arrest dealers who
pl,ace fresh ranch eggs in refrigera
tors over night and then offer them
for sale as fresh eggs. Dealers say
the law makes no distinction between
an egg that has been in storage one
day and one that has bqen in storage
a month, but declare that the con
sumer can distinguish the difference.
BARS JAPANESE AS CITIZEN.
Federal Court Holds That Service
With Navy Makes No Difference.
Norfolk, Va.—The petition of
Namyo Bessho, a Japanese chief
steward of the United States Navy,
for naturalization, was denied by
Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the
United States Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia.
The court held that under the Fed
eral statutes no Japanese or alien ex
cept of white blood or of African
descent or nativity could become an
American citizen/even though he has
seen service in the United States Navy
or Marine Corps. An a: p al will be
taken.
FIVE FOUND GUILTY.
Cincinnatians Convicted of Using the
Mailg to Defraud.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—The jury in the
case of Louis W. Foster and five oth
ers, charged with using the. mails to
defraud in the running of a so-called
“bucket shop,” returned a verdict of
guilty in the United States District
Court here.
The men found guilty are Louis W.
Foster, John Gorman, W. J. Camp
bell, A. C. Baldwin, John Scott and
Edwin F. Heil.
Higher Priced Cotton.
With the best informed judgment
of the trade so generally conceding
the possibility of higher prices for
cotton, and with the crop prospect as
much in doubt as at present, the haz
ard in buying cotton at present prices
seems almost negligible.

BIG ALLIGATORS TO DIE.
Legislature Removing Protection
. From the Saurions.
Tallahassee, Fla. — The Florida
House of Representatives passed the
bill allowing the killing of aligators
along the Ocklawaha River and its
tributaries. The bill is intended to
protect the hogs on the farms along
these streams.
The passage of the bill by the
House is a great disappointment to
the many tourists who frequent this
section of Florida, and who enjoy
watching the 'gators in their native
.waters.

ter wheat abandoned was 2.2.
Chicago, 111.—Hopes of the wheat
shorts that the Government crop re
port would cause a break in the high
prices that have ruled for weeks were
disappointed. As a result the May
and July options closed at 1.29 and
1.17%, almost the top figures gained
in the recent advance, and September
and December, in sympathy, showed
surprising gains of 3 to 4 cents, clos
ing at 1.08% and 1.07%.

prisoner collapsed in the dock.
The efforts of the defense were de
voted largely to proving an alibi.
Physicians testified that the hammer
found in Slater’s belongings in New

Miss Gilchrist’s injuries, as asserted
by the prosecution. Slater himself
did not enter the witness box.

HELEN BOYLEJOUNB GlIILTK
Charged With Aiding Her Hus-|
band in Kidnaping. |
Willie Whitla, of Sharon, Pa., Was
Stolen by Woman and James H.
Boyle and Held For Ransom.
Mercer, Pa.—Mrs. James H. Boyle,
formerly Helen Anna McDermott, of
Chicago, was convicted on a charge of
aiding, assisting and abetting her
husband in the abduction of Willie
Whitla, of Sharon, Pa. During the,
day’s proceedings the prisoner’s
brother, William McDermott, of Chi
cago, sat by her side.
On the way to the jail, after her
conviction, Mrs. Boyle expressed the
belief that she had been convicted to
satisfy the venom and jealousy of
some Mercer women. "Had I been, a
plain girl,” she said, "these same
women would have pitied me. If the
jury had acquitted me I believe these
women would have tarred and feath
ered me. A sacrifice had to be made,
and Jimmie and I are the victims.
"They think they will railroad me
t’o the ‘pen.’ They will find they are
mistaken. My fight has only begun.
Jimmie And I were not allowed to
open our mouths at the trial. Now
we will do the talking, and the peo
ple will know upon whom the blame
should fall.
"I admit that Boyle brought the
boy to me at Cleveland, that I cared
for him. was kind to him and enter
tained him. I never asked why he
was there, never asked where Jimmie
got him. He asked me, as his wife,
to take care of the boy for a few
days, and I did so. If that is a
crime, there are millions of wives
waiting to be convicted.
“I tried to make this explanation,
but was choked off. In the future
they won’t be able to choke me off.”
Mrs. Boyle requested the Sheriff to
allow no one to see her for several
hours, until she was able to realize
what the verdict meant.
It was reported here after the trial
that Mr. Miller, of the defense; Mr.
Cochran, of the prosecution, and W.
W. Moore, another attorney and a
close friend of District Attorney Lin
inger, had arranged to go to Sharon
to investigate the identity of a third
person alleged to have been impli
cated in the abduction. It is said to
be asserted by Boyle that a promin
ent man of Sharon was the instigator
of the abduction plot; that he had
been paying Boyle money, and when
the payments failed the man sug
gested the kidnaping to Boyle, and
that it was arranged that he and
Boyle should divide the ransom
money.

ever, it began to dip water and its
occupants called franctically for as
sistance. Some boys at play on the

Itching Torture Was Beyond Words—
Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion
—Believed in 21 Hours and
Cured in a Month by Cutieura.
“I am seventy-seven years old, and some
years ago I was taken with eczema from
head to foot. 1 was sick for six months
and what I suffered tongue could not tell.
I could not sleep day or night because of
that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it
was from sheer exhaustion. I was one
mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp.
The doctor’s medicine seemed to make me
worse and I was almost out of my mind. I
got a set of the Cutieura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent. I used them persistently
for twenty-four hours. That night I slept
like an infant, the first solid night’s sleep
I had had for six months. In a month I
was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco,

Imitations are not advertised, but depend for their business on the
